Neurology - Descending Tracts: Corticospinal Tract

Explore the corticospinal tract in this comprehensive neurology lecture, focusing on the ventral and lateral components of this descending tract in the spinal cord. Delve into the anatomy and function of key structures, including the precentral gyrus, premotor cortex, cerebral cortex, cerebral peduncles, pontine nuclei, middle cerebellar peduncle, ponto-cerebellum, medulla, pyramids, and pyramidal descent. Gain a deeper understanding of this crucial neural pathway and its role in motor control through Professor Zach Murphy's detailed explanations and visual aids.
